Welcome to Frugal Living NW!

I'm Angela Davis, a PNW native, mom of lots of kids, and I love saving money. I'm here to help you live well on a budget by making every penny count. You'll find deals at your local stores, ways to save online, recipes, and frugal living tips and inspiration.

I knew this deal would resurface again! Through Sunday, Groupon is offering $100 worth of custom photo books at Picaboo.com for just $25. To find this deal, click “Visit more cities” and choose Pittsburgh. Since it’s an online deal, anyone can purchase it. I created a Picaboo photo book of our recent vacation and really love it. The software is intuitive and easy to use.

Limit one Groupon per person. Limit one Groupon per Picaboo transaction. You may use the Groupon over multiple transactions. This offer is available through Sunday (9/26) at 11:59 pm. The Groupon expires in one year — plenty of time to make Christmas gifts (the Groupon itself would also be a great Christmas gift)!

If you do not have a Picaboo account, be sure to use this link to create an account, use the code 1FBLGB-7W and receive a FREE 20 page photo book. You should be able to use your Groupon to pay for shipping. If you already have a Picaboo account, use the code PNTG50 at checkout and get 50% off (you pay shipping).

I wanted to point out that if you bought this Groupon several weeks ago, like I did, you are not allowed to buy it again. I read this in the comments on the Groupon site, posted by the Groupon guy. Apparently the system will let you do it, but he is asking subscribers to abide by Picaboo’s HARD limit of 1 per person.

In a side note, there is an interesting article in the Oregonian business section today about the use of Groupons and “consumer bullies”, or people who try to break the rules by using multiple Groupons or trying to use them after expiration dates. Companies lose money on these Groupons because they are trying to attract new customers. Please don’t abuse them!

It expires 12/31/10. You enter the code after you’re finished making the book. What I would do is
1. Download the software through the link above now — it takes a few minutes.
2. Create the book whenever you want.
3. Use the code at checkout to get the first book free.
4. Use the certificate # you get from Groupon to pay for shipping. The remaining balance will remain in your Picaboo account.
